Hi, I did this today on my V6 Colorado. Exactly the same method, but I havent finished it because I cant get the engine mount back in!!! It was tricky removing it, but I just cant get it back to sit against the block again!!!!! I got the new starter in & test started it, but this mount is doing my head in. Engine is still on the jack, the same position as when removed. The new starter is identical as the old one. Why???
@@FargQue I trimmed off one side of the engine mount with angle grinder. I got it in position & bolted up no probem. Theres just no room in those engine bays. In America they had an LS 5.3l option in the RC colorado. That must be a tight fit!
OK Matt well I'd say taken the header pipes off to get it outa the top is in no way the quickest way you fool this bloke hear has got it right Thanks chief.top vid.
i actually got mine out of the side wheel arch without removing the engine mount , quite easily , definitely appreciate the video . done it today and was a pain in the butt but all done
Mine is a RA 3 LTR DIESEL 4X4 all I had to do is take the fuel filter off and it slip past the hoses and out though the inner guard. 😅
4jh1 right not a 4jj1?
Would have been good to see how it’s done.🤦♂️🤷♂️🥲
Yeah i am working on that looking for some sort of phone stand but its hard sometimes to work and show same times as i am on my on most of the time
How much would you charge for that, I'd get you to do mine in Adelaide if you were local
Hey man make sure you ring around for prices 👍

Just replaced my starter motor, no need to take engine mount out, can bring starter out through top.
